Windows 7: Adobe Flash keeps asking to update

Everytime I visit a site that uses Adobe Flash, it tells me I need to update to the latest version.. I download and re-install, and it works for awhile.. But eventually it asks me to update to the latest version again.. I keep updating to the same version, there is nothing new.. Why does it keep asking me to update, when I have the latest version?

Then once you have done this, go to: control panel > Flash Player and in the flash settings, select "don't look for updates to flash". If you do this, you'll be responsible for checking for flash updates every so often yourself. You can do that be bookmarking this site: Adobe - Flash Player

If the Flash uninstaller suggested doesn't work for you. Suggest you d/l and run Secunia Personal Software Inspector (PSI) It will tell you if you have older (insecure) versions of Flash still installed (they are not routinely removed when you update). The scan results will show you the path to manually remove any and all older versions. It is possible these older versions are being detected, and are insecure in any case. Also PSI is a good idea, as you may discover you have other insecure programs.

If you use Firefox, then it uses a separate plug-in than Internet Explorer. You will need to select your OS, click Continue, and select "other browsers" to install the separate plug-in for Firefox from this link instead.

If you like, you can check your Adobe Flash settings and clear all visited websites list history at this link or from the Flash Player icon in the Windows Control Panel.

Adobe Flash keeps asking to update

Adobe Flash won't update automaticallyOn a daily bases I get a startup screen wanting me to upgrade.
Then follows a screen to read the conditions, which is compulsory.
Finally I land on an ftp-like list with lots of files to download.
Is this normal?
Using Firefox 11 and Windows 7 Ultimate.
Getting a bit tired of clicking the msg...
